User talk:Raoulfgonzo

I have been blocked for "vandalism." This is accurate. I vandalized exclusively when I was allowed to post, so it came as no surprise. I now have a more mature outlook on the goals of Wikipedia, and would like the privilege to edit once again. I promise that I will not be associated with any vandalism in the future and believe that I can make valid contributions to the information on this website.

Please stand by as I contact the blocking admin. Sandstein 23:24, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user's vandalism is characteristic of that done by children. He was blocked two years ago, and a child can grow and learn a great deal in two years. A person who was an unhelpful vandal at 14 or 15 might well grow to be a useful editor at 16 or 17. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Depending on whether D67 knows of any skeletons in the closet or has some other objection, I'd be fine with a second chance here. – Luna Santin (talk) 02:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I won't unblock, but I won't object to someone else doing it. However, I recommend that this use be watched, with zero tolerance towards any further screwing around. This is your only warning, Raoulfgonzo. DS (talk) 03:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Per the discussion above, I'll go ahead and give you a second chance. Feel free to take a moment to review our introduction or community portal. I didn't see any autoblocks, here, but if I missed one, go right ahead and request unblocking with {{unblock-auto}} (you'll get instructions for doing this, if one happens to be active). Anyhow, stay out of trouble, eh? ;)
